talk about this relationship between president mandela and president obama. >> you know, wolf, i thought the president was very eloquent yesterday, talking about what president mandela meant to him. in many ways i think mandela was partly responsible for barack obama's own political awakening. one of the great legacies of mandela particularly in america is that it was an awakening for so many people that people were looking at south africa, this land that with terrible prejudice, terrible authoritarian government and we were looking at it as almost a proxy for what had happened in america during the civil rights movement and i think it awakened and it was a revelation for many, many americans. >> i'm sure president obama and i'm sure you'll agree was deeply disappointed when he was in south africa earlier this year, with his family, he was not able to go and meet president mandela, because he was so gravely ill. i'm sure he would have loved to have done that, but he obviously couldn't. he'll head to south africa in the coming days for the funeral, this will be an important event not only

struck in their own talks. >> listen to jimmy carter, the former president of the united states speaking about this handshake, this encounter. jimmy carter also in south africa right now. he did a telephone interview with cnn's becky anderson. >> i think it was something significant. i've known raul castro quite well for a number of years i've known his brother fidel, as well. that was the first time i believe an incumbent american president has shaken hands with a leader of cuba. i hope it will be an omen for the future. >> now, he was mistaken on that part, jimmy carter, because bill clinton as the incumbent president of the united states back in 2000 did shake hands not with raul castro but with fidel castro. you remember that. >> i do remember it and i remember at first, the white house denied the handshake and corrected its denial and admitted to it. this is a very different moment. first of all, fidel castro is not in power. raul is in the second year of his final term in office. we are four years away from a cuba when the castros will not be leading it. that's important. >> if tha

obama not only knew him but he lived with him. the question is, is this a big deal? we're talking about it right now to break it down a historian at princeton and david gergen who joins us from atlanta, he is a cnn senior political analyst and a former white house adviser to four presidents. gentlemen, thank you for being here. david, let's start with you. you know what it's like to work at a white house and deal with media questions especially on sensitive issues, how, however, does a white house put out false information like it did on the president's relationship to an uncle? >> well, let me say for beginners, i don't think this is a big deal. i think it's a modest deal. i think it reflerkts a sloppiness within the white house operation. but we've had other presidents who have had relatives who have rather inconvenient histories, let us say, and there's always been a fairly strong effort by the white house staff to distance the president from that inconvenient relative if possible. that seems to what has gone on here. what is odd is that the president must have kn

gap, certainly plays a part in the right track-wrong track as another way to put it. >> president obama talking about it the other day. >> but the fact is the situation's gotten worse in the last three years. more than 90% of the income increases over the past three years have gone to the top 1%. so it's possible that you have -- look, these are great numbers. but the fact is that a lot of people are not feeling it, even if they have a job. so i don't think that it's just the jobless rate that people look at, because only jobless rate that counts is the one in your household. a lot of people may have a job, but it's not enough of a job, or it doesn't pay enough, or it's only part-time, whatever it is, and that's why you see the differential between, hey, look, the jobless rate is going down, and people going, i think we're on the wrong track. >> candy crowley, the brilliant candy crowley, thank you for joining me. tune in for stre"state of the u" at 9:00 in the morning. >> here's breaking news we have to get to now. as we reported a couple minutes ago, as many as six people taken to a h

>> i think as the president talked this morning about the fact that our work continues, it is not incredibly difficult to pay hommage to the movement and making south africa strong, unified, democratic and nonracist society that president mandela talked about continues, but this work continues as the president talked about the need to make sure that children do not go hungry and that we don't have run-down schools. those are problems not only in south africa, but in the united states of america. for us, carol, i hope this will be a teachable moment, that we will raise the conversation in our own nation, go to a higher moral plane that, we will focus on the things that bring us together. when the people at the bottom have what they need, basic needs, basic things that make for human dignity, education, food, a living wage, that the whole society is made better. if we cash in this moment, if we build monuments rather than a better world, we will not pay the tribute to nelson mandela that he justly deserves. >> raphael warnock, senior pastor from the ebenezer baptist church in miami. >> so good
